History is neither more nor less than biography on a large scale.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Friendship, sweet-resting place of the soul, the gloaming wherein our hearts find peace.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Religions are not proved, are not demonstrated, are not established, are not overthrown by logic! They are of all the mysteries of nature and the human mind, the most mysterious and most inexplicable they are of instinct and not of reason.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Woe to the conquered!
Alphonse de Lamartine
Ah! let us love, my Love, for Time is heartless, Be happy while you may!
Alphonse de Lamartine
Assassination makes only martyrs, not converts.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Death, with funereal shades in vain surrounds me, My reason through his darkness seeth light: 'Tis the last step which brings me close to Thee: 'Tis the veil falling, 'twixt Thy face and mine.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Women have much more heart and much more imagination than men hence, fancy often allures them.
Alphonse de Lamartine
True love is the ripe fruit of a lifetime.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Nature has given women two painful but heavenly gifts, which distinguish them, and often raise them above human nature,--compassion and enthusiasm. By compassion, they devote themselves by enthusiasm they exalt themselves.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Kindness is virtue itself.
Alphonse de Lamartine
True greatness is sovereign wisdom. We are never deceived by our virtues.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Argument should be polite as well as logical.
Alphonse de Lamartine
